Editing Tang Code (section)

==Facts==
* The code imposed two years of forced labor on any private household found in possession of such works as the ''[[Lo Shu Square|Luoshu Square]]'' or the ''[[Yellow River Map]]'', which are used in ''[[Yijing]]'' and ''[[Fengshui]]'' divination. The practice was preserved in the legal practice until the Song dynasty.<ref>{{citation

*Specific rules governed the application of judicial [[torture]]. The only instrument permitted was the {{Transliteration|zh|xunqiuzhang}} {{Lang|zh|訊囚杖}} 'interrogation stick', which was approximately {{convert|40|in|cm|1|abbr=off}} long and {{convert|.32|in|cm|1|abbr=on}}<ref>The Tang Code translated by Wallace Johnson volume II, article 482</ref> and {{convert|.22|in|cm|1|abbr=off}} wide at the large and small ends respectively. The magistrate himself would be punished if other means were used to try to force a confession.<ref>Johnson and Twitchett (1993), 128.</ref>
